2. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

   Brake bleeding is the procedure performed on hydraulic brake systems whereby the brake lines (the pipes and hoses containing the brake fluid) are purged of any air bubbles. This is necessary because, while the brake fluid is an incompressible liquid , air bubbles are compressible gas and their presence in the brake system greatly reduces the ...

3. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid

   The brake fluid in the tubes, in turn, pressurizes the brake slave cylinders, which are on each wheel. [22] [23] The slave cylinder pistons press down the brake pads. They encompass and compress the brake disk, and the rotation of the wheels slows down. In addition to transmitting pressure, brake fluid also keeps the brake system working optimally.

4. Service (motor vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_(motor_vehicle)

   Difference between major and full service: a major service is more comprehensive than a full service; although it covers all the same checks that a full service does, a major service will be more detailed and will include more replacements of wearable parts, such as pollen filters, and changing brake fluid if required. As a guideline, minor car ...

5. Sensotronic Brake Control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensotronic_Brake_Control

   Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is an electro-hydraulic brake system developed by Daimler and Bosch. In this system, the wheel brake cylinders of a vehicle are operated through a servomechanism, offering precise and responsive braking. The SBC system was first introduced on the R230 SL-class, which was released in Europe in October 2001. [1]

6. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   This replaces the need to manually pump the brakes while driving on a slippery or a low traction surface, allowing to steer even in most emergency braking conditions. When the ABS is in operation the driver will feel a pulsing in the brake pedal; this comes from the rapid opening and closing of the valves.

9. Engine braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

   Engine braking is a viable method of controlling the speed at which a vehicle travels downhill. By shifting to a lower gear in a manual transmission, or applying "low" mode on an automatic transmission, engine braking reduces the need to repeatedly apply the foot brake, lowering the risk of the brakes overheating.
